Duabanga grandiflora from Gandhi Tekri in Mumbai : 5 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (11).
Duabanga grandiflora is a rarity in Mumbai and, so far as I know, its occurrence in the city is limited to three individuals in a couple of curiously contrived fragments within the forested habitat of Borivali National Park – two handsome trees near the Gandhi Memorial on Gandhi Tekri, and a six-foot sapling in the Krishnagiri Nisarg Parichay Udyan (inaugurated last month on the 5th of December, 2013).
The flowers bloom well after sunset and a morning visitor invariably runs into a fresh harvest of snowy stamens carpeting the floor. Surviving the night are vacant calyces with a protruding style, and a few hung over, flaccid stamens and petals on the verge of collapse.
Since the flowering happens to coincide with the 66th death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi today, I’ve also included a characteristic anecdote on his relationship with plants – Our Brethren the Trees – by Madeleine Slade (better known as Miraben) with a postscript by Gandhi. It appeared in Young India in the issue dated 5 December 1929, and the Gujarati version – આપણાં વૃક્ષ ભાઈબહેનો – was published later in Navajivan on the 12th of January, 1930.
All photographs were taken yesterday (29.1.14). Have scanned the last two files from the original back issues of Young India and Navajivan. Very beautiful upload … thanks.. What a wonderful post, … after … email today. looked up the treein our database. your case is the most complete and touching.
